Cinders & Sparks is a fresh, funny, and fabulous take on Cinderella for everyone who loves series like Whatever After and Grimmtastic Girls.

Cinders, her talking dog Sparks, and the hapless Hansel are on their way to Fairyland—but first they’ll have to make it through the Deep Dark Forest, where they’ll meet three bears, a multitude of adventures, and one woman called Rapunzel.

Will Hansel eat the three bears’ porridge? Will Sparks offer useless advice at every turn? Will Brian the fairy godmother appear and actually help for once?

The answers are: yes, yes, and no.

The second book in bestselling author Lindsey Kelk’s ridiculously entertaining trilogy is filled with adventure, talking dogs, and pure comic silliness. Perfect for readers age 8-12.
